Abstract
|
|
|
|
Implantation of a pregnancy within the scar of previous cesarean section is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to uterine rupture, hemorrhage and maternal morbidity. But diagnosed early by transvaginal sonography, treatment options are capable of preserving the uterus and subsequent fertility. Suction curettage, exploratory laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, systemic or local injection of methotrexate is the treatment method currently performed. In this report, we treated a case of this patient by transvaginal hysterotomy. This is the first case report in the recent literature. By this surgery, we could successfully remove gestational sac from the implantation site and repair the defect by primary suture and preserve uterus.
